As
part of my Sociology course
I am studying radical feminism.
According to one of my research
books, radical feminism refers
to the idea that for men and
women to be completely equal
in society they must live totally
separately, in all aspects,
financially, socially and sexually.
This book also quotes Germaine
Greer as being one of, if not
the, most important and most
recognized radical feminist.
However, Germaine Greer got
married. I dont understand how
Greer can be a spokesperson
for radical feminism when she
has a husband, Thanks, Jo

Radical
Feminism--as in the group of
feminists that formed the women's
liberation movement of the late
1960s--did believe "men" caused
"women's oppression. However,
you should note that over time--radical
feminism has become almost an
inseparable phase--many people
assume that every feminist is
radical. And, in some ways that
is true--because radical means
going to the root--and feminism
is about "uprooting" women's
oppression as a way of making
men and women equal. I think
the difference between feminists
is what they think is keeping
women down. So perhaps Germaine
Greer falls into this latter
interpretation of radical feminism.
